Mission
The mission of the Danville Area Community College Medical Assistant Program is “to prepare medical assistants who are competent in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains to enter the profession.”
Program Goals
The Danville Area Community College Medical Assistant Program Goal: The Medical Assistant program has an academic process improvement plan that aligns with DACC’s Institutional Effectiveness Key Performance Indicator of Student Success which measures the percentage of students who complete credit courses with a grade of C or better. In the Medical Assistant program students must receive a C or better to pass each course and complete all competencies. If the course grade drops below a C it will prompt an academic process improvement plan. All students dropping below a grade of C at the 10th day grade verification, midterm grade verification and final grade verification dates will meet with the Health Information Director to create an academic process improvement plan to provide an opportunity for the student to improve their grade to a C or higher. If a student fails any competencies after three attempts, they will be dropped from the course. They will need to retake the course.
